Mega Man III, known in Japan as Rockman World 3 (ロックマンワールド3, Rokkuman Wārudo Surī) is the third Game Boy series game in the Classic era of the Mega Man series, developed by Minakuchi Engineering and published by Capcom (or by Nintendo in PAL regions) for the Game Boy in 1992-1993.
Like its predecessors, the game once again presents itself as a reimagining of content from the NES games, this time reusing four bosses each from Mega Man 3 and Mega Man 4 and assigning revamped versions of their stages to them. It also introduces Punk, the latest of Dr. Wily's "Mega Man Killers".
The gameplay itself takes its cues from Mega Man 4, granting Mega Man the ability to charge his Mega Buster for the first time in the Game Boy series, while bringing back the slide and Rush from the previous game.
